The brother of former Dome-Kwabenya Member of Parliament (MP) has been arrested following a shooting incident at his residence on Sunday, June 21.
“The suspect reported himself to the Regional Police Headquarters on 22nd June 2026 and was subsequently handed over to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters to assist ongoing investigations into the incident,” a police statement late Monday said.
